About this study

In the Swedish county councils and municipalities, Motivational Interviewing (MI) training with different forms and content is taking place as part of the implementation of the method. The study aims to evaluate to what extent the practitioners acquire and retain MI skills trough the different training methods used by comparing them with a format that in previous studies has shown to be required for the long-term acquisition of proficiency in MI; training including supervision consisting of feedback based on monitoring of practice.

Read the detailed description

The basis for a successful implementation of an evidence-based treatment in routine clinical care is quality assessment of all stages of delivery, implementation and evaluation. In the Swedish county councils and municipalities, Motivational Interviewing (MI) training with different forms and content is taking place as part of the implementation of the method.

Aims: To evaluate to what extent the practitioners acquire and retain MI skills through the different training methods used in the Swedish county councils and municipalities by comparing them with a format that in previous studies has shown to be required for the long-term acquisition of proficiency in MI; training including supervision consisting of feedback based on monitoring of practice.

Method: In 2013-2014, 175 practitioners that attend MI training in five different county councils and municipalities in Sweden will be randomized to one of the study's three groups: (a) "Regular training" (n= 66), b) "Regular training" followed by six individual supervision sessions at monthly intervals based on only the behavior counts component of the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Code (n= 67), and (c) "Regular training" followed by supervision based on both the behavior counts and the five global dimensions of the MITI (n= 67). All practitioners will record three sessions: one before " regular training", one after "regular training" and one six month after training. The practitioners in group b and c will record five additional sessions in conjunction with the supervision. All supervision and recording sessions will be made over the phone with actors role-playing clients. The sessions will be assessed for proficiency in MI by MIC Lab at the Karolinska Institute according to the Swedish translation of MITI 3.1.

Time Frame: The specific time points at which the outcome measure (the Swedish version of the MITI, version 3.1.) will be assessed are:

  1. Before the county councils' workshop trainings (pre-workshop).
  2. Directly after the workshop trainings (post-workshop).
  3. Six months after the workshop trainings (follow-up). => Since the different county council workshop trainings differ in time (e.g. one to four month) the participants from the different county councils will be followed for a period in between seven month (one + six) to ten month (four + six).

The participants randomized to the two groups with additional supervision will also be assessed five times between the post-workshop and the follow-up assessment (e.g. every month).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Acquisition of MI competence

    The effectiveness of the county council workshop trainings will be measured with mean differences between the pre- and post-workshop assessment. The impact of the additional telephone supervision on the county councils' workshop trainings will be measured with mean differences between the post-workshop and the follow-up assessment.

    All acquisition of MI competence will be assessed by the Swedish version of the MITI, version 3.1. The MITI is a coding system with good psychometric properties widely used as a treatment integrity measure and as a feedback tool to improve MI skills in training and in clinical practice (Moyers, Martin, Manuel, Hendrickson, \& Miller: Assessing competence in the use of motivational interviewing. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 2005, 28:19-26.).

    Measured: Change from Baseline (pre-workshop) in MI competence assessed by the Swedish version of the MITI, directly after the workshop trainings (post-workshop), and six months after the workshop trainings (follow-up).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Regular MI-training, Regular MI-training + supervision half and Regular MI-training + supervision full in people with Competence, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acquisition of MI competence (time frame: Change from Baseline (pre-workshop) in MI competence assessed by the Swedish version of the MITI, directly after the workshop trainings (post-workshop), and six months after the workshop trainings (follow-up).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Aug 2016.
